LED lighting products operate at high efficiency levels

Built with the industry's best LED and driver components, Sharp LED lighting products operate at high efficiency levels, combined with high levels of color saturation, yielding a CRI well above 95 for lamps and above 85 for the linear products. Sharp LED luminaires are superior to traditional source lighting products in that they consume less energy and produce less heat, resulting in additional energy savings. The products also deliver extremely long life, providing approximately 50,000 hours of operation, which dramatically reduces relamping costs.Because Sharp LED lighting fixtures are designed, manufactured and tested in Memphis, they can be shipped quickly, reducing order fulfillment times. And Sharp's team of engineers and designers will work with customers to customize inspired solutions that best fit and highlight the space's architecture.
The ability to control the lighting spectrum enables the luminaires to mimic the natural variations of sunlight.By using tunable white light engines, LED luminaires can provide a superior level of light quality with precise control of color. Designers are no longer limited in their selection of luminaire types by available color options,” said Tyler Moon, Acuity Brands Lighting Vice President and General Manager, Specialty Brands. “Now, not only can the light color change with time of day, but multiple light distribution styles – for instance, soft volumetric lighting and downlighting – also can seamlessly match in any space.The advantage to mimicking the natural variations of sunlight is that our bodies are innately connected to the flows of nature,” Moon continued. “The variation of sunlight color temperature during the day controls our circadian rhythm, and positively impacts our mood and even our health.”
Acuity Brands will showcase two new LED luminaires using tunable white light engines at the LIGHTFAIR International trade show. These products integrate with controls to create a soft, sky-like light to customize the appearance of interior environments and are expected to be available in Fall 2013.EVO LED downlights from Gotham, available in 4-inch and 6-inch round and square apertures, are ideal for common applications such as churches, auditoriums, office spaces, medical facilities and restaurants.Veil LED luminaires from Mark Architectural Lighting™ feature a flexible translucent PVC membrane that controls glare and softly scatters light throughout spaces such as lobbies, corporate offices and healthcare facilities.To adjust to the best white light quality for a space, each LED luminaire features a high level of control connectivity through industry standard DMX and Remote Device Management (RDM) protocols.
